Willy Tarreau reflectson his experience maintaining the 3.10 long-term kernel on the occasionof the release of the final update, 3.10.108."First, there's no such notion of 'important fixes'. Even seriousvendors employing several kernel developers got caught missing someapparently unimportant fixes and remaining vulnerable for more than twoyears after LTS was fixed. So you can imagine the level of quality you mayexpect from a $60 WiFi router vendor claiming to apply the samepractices... The reality is that a bug is a bug, and until it's exploitedit's not considered a vulnerability."
